world war I nerd Posted August 24, 2018 Author #52 Posted August 24, 2018 If you're talking about the soldier's, right hand trouser pocket, I'm pretty sure that's a pocket watch fob.

Dragoon Posted August 28, 2018 #54 Posted August 28, 2018 Brian this is my only USMC related photo and that is somewhat tenuous having only one Marine, still an interesting photo. The others photographed have MAC on their insignia, an academy I assume. The cup is stamped Naval Brigade Cup and the plaque looks to be NRA. The man in the civilian clothing is a Major Masters. Kurt
